James1:15

Verſe 15. When luſt hath conceived] As the plot of all diſeaſes lies in the humours of the body; ſo of all ſin, in the l[illegible: 1 letter]ſt of the ſoul. There is in it a [non-Latin text not transcribed], a tacite conſent, a ſeed-plot of all ſin.Emp[illegible: 1 letter]doclis vocabu um apud A[illegible: 1 letter]iſtot. The Papiſts ſay (but falſly) that it is the ſmalleſt of all ſins, not deſerving any more of Gods wrath, then only a want of his beatificall preſence, and that too without any pain or ſorrow of minde from the apprehenſion of ſo great a leſſe. There are alſo of ours that ſay, That it is not forbidden by the law: but ſure we are, it is curſed and condemned (and therefore forbidden) by the Law.
